I think its hard to compare P1 and 918... These are uncomparable cars, like 959 and F40. They were made after very different number of tasks. Porsche is looking for maximum performance with minimum fuel consumption. P1 is looking for maximum track performance. Anyway we will see how 918 performs on track with help of all these gizmos. Porsche is very well known for the maximum lap times even with less HP.
